You know what I hate in business? The dead silence response when you answer a question. - Andie Sep 28, 13:40 11
- i give them a couple of seconds and say "is there anything else I can do for you?" -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 13:49 4
  - I say double down on the silence but breathe deeply and slowly so they can hear it. -- nm - Max Sep 28, 13:58 1
    - For sure, if it's a chronic thing, just leave them hanging. If what Diva said is true, it's important to throw their own behaviour in their face. - Beryllium Sep 28, 13:59
  - this -- nm - Diva Sep 28, 13:55
  - or "will that be all?" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 13:53

  - Some people just get so thrown off track when they don't get an expected answer. I always envision the Lost in Space robot: "That does not compute." -- nm - GregW Sep 28, 13:48
- Did you order a code red? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 28, 13:41 1
  - You can't handle the silence! -- nm - GregW Sep 28, 13:46

  - I figured this season was going to be a bloodbath. - groiny Sep 28, 13:56
- Poor ML. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 28, 13:30
- for? -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 13:30 6

- Yup, almost made it to John Wayne Airport. -- nm - Meg Sep 28, 13:29
CrankYanker: Yes, it's because of the spotlight. The media loves its sensationalism, and taxi and limo incidents are so banal they're not covered. - Beryllium Sep 28, 13:24 5
- Well, the stories are justified. Remember, taxi and limo drivers are drug tested, Uber isn't. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 28, 14:05
- Limo accidents get coverage, remember the one that caught fire on the bridge and burned the bride alive -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 28, 13:37 2
  - That wasn't the driver's fault and had nothing to do with his driving. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 28, 14:06 1
    - He wasn't paying attention, listening to music on his headphones and oblivious to the freaking screaming of women panicking and burning -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 28, 15:34
- I guess not all taxi incidents are banal. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 28, 13:26

- Better than Boondock Saints, at least. -- nm - Spawn Sep 28, 13:27
- He's even more helpless than Batman -- nm - jangles Sep 28, 13:24

All it took was for me to buy one groupon to get tons of e-mail. I got some satisfaction when I unsubscribed. -- (link) - Covington Sep 28, 13:18 4
- Groupon really is out of control with the emails. I was getting 3-4 emails a day from them. -- nm - sycor Sep 28, 13:20 3
  - I ditched them quite some time ago. LinkedIn, too. The email cacophony is just absurd. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 13:54
  - living social is right there with them too. -- nm - Diva Sep 28, 13:21 1

Without help from youtube, can you conjure up the Moonlighting theme music and/or lyrics in your mind right now? -- nm - Max Sep 28, 13:14 16
- Surprisingly, no. And now that I've listened to it, I'm stunned that it worked. The theme is very misleading. -- nm - Mop Sep 28, 13:17 2
  - I never thought it did work, really. -- nm - mara Sep 28, 13:18 1
    - I always hated it, too. -- nm - fabulous squad Sep 28, 13:28

    - Full solar is definitely bucket list must see do not miss -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 28, 13:13 1
      - I've seen one, but I meant what was I missing in terms of why folks were talking about darkness. -- nm - mara Sep 28, 13:17
